Abstract (en)

This invention provides a vehicle operation control method and vehicle operation control apparatus which protects a vehicle driver from a feeling of disharmony in his steering operation. Provided is a vehicle operation control method for controlling an actual steering angle of driven wheels based on a steering angle of a steering wheel and a vehicle velocity, with a first step of obtaining a change amount in the steering angle by the steering wheel; a second step of controlling a variable gain based on the vehicle velocity; a third step of multiplying the change amount in the steering angle obtained in the first step with the variable gain controlled in the second step; a fourth step of integrating results of multiplications in the third step; and a fifth step of controlling the actual steering angle of the steering wheel based on a result of the integration in the fourth step. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
